The kidneys remove waste from the body, regulate blood pressure and electrolyte balance, and stimulate the production of red blood cells. Shaped like kidney beans, the organs are found on either side of the backbone. Inside each kidney are tiny tubes that filter and clean the blood, taking out the waste, and making urine. The urine made by the kidneys passes through a tube called a ureter into the bladder where it is held until it is voided from the body.

Wilms tumor, also known as nephroblastoma, is a rare kidney cancer. It arises from embryonal kidney tissues that have normally disappeared at the time of birth and may affect one or both kidneys.Wilms tumor occurs in about one in 10,000 people. It is the second most common solid tumor in younger people, being less common than brain tumor, and makes up about 7 percent of all younger people cancers.
